Down in the Hole

Down in the Hole: The unWired World of H.B. Ogden is a collection of excerpts and illustrations from The Wire, a Victorian serial novel of DeLyria and Robinson's invention, set in 'Bodymore' and credited to fictional author H.B. Ogden. And with The Wire's tenth anniversary coming up, there's no better time to revisit your favourite characters, but this time, against a very Dickensian backdrop: meet 'Bubbles' - the loveable drifter, Stringer Bell - the bourgeois merchant with pretentions to aristocracy, and Bodie - who, despite lack of education or Victorian 'good breeding', is seen reading and enjoying the likes of Jane Austen. Down in the Hole: The unWired World of H.B. Ogden is essential reading for all fans of The Wire who do not want just another tired spin-off.
